Hi Kevin,
If you use KDE, open the Control Center, open the Sound and Multimedia
section, and select the Sound System module. Click on the "Enable
networked sound" checkbox, and apply the changes.
If you use Gnome instead, I'd guess there's a similar option in one of its
control center modules.
If you aren't using a sound server, then you'll essentially have to write
one.
On the other hand, rather than go this route, you could always create a
shared drive from one machine, mount it in the second machine, and place
the sound files themselves in the shared folder. Then, you can use local
apps to play your mp3s.
Hope that helps,
Justin Guerin
